About the book
The Unlikely Settler is about a young Bengali journalist who moves to Jerusalem with her English-Jewish husband and two children. He speaks Arabic and is an arch-believer in the peace process; she leaves her career behind to follow his dream. Jerusalem propels Pelham into a world where freedom from tribal allegiance is a challenging prospect. From the school you choose for your children to the wine you buy, you are forced to take sides at every turn. Pelham's intelligent analysis suggests a very different approach to a possible resolution of the conflict.
